“What now?” Bella felt frustrated and had no intention of showing this despicable man any kindness.
“Tomorrow, can I attend Aunt Celeste’s birthday banquet?” Justin asked cautiously, lacking any confidence. But at the same time,
he was filled with anticipation. He was hopeful to see her again.
Bella snorted, pursing her lips. “Mr. Salvador, Aunt Celeste’s birthday banquet will be attended by members of the Thompson
family. Won’t you feel embarrassed to face them?”
“Alright, I understand. But as the saying goes, an ugly son-in-law must still meet his in-laws.” Justin’s tone was unusually
earnest.
“What is wrong with you, Justin?” Bella pounded the window again. She imagined it as if it were his head.
“Is it okay, Bella?” He persisted.
Bella recalled the night when Gregory beat Justin mercilessly because of this, leaving Justin’s back covered in bruises.
She reluctantly said, “Fine, but remember to bring a gift.”
Justin’s joy was evident in his clear and bright voice. “Of course! How
can I go empty-handed when meeting the parents?”
Bella gritted her teeth and growled, “Fuck off!”

Chapter 635
The weekend arrived, and the birthday banquet for the two affluent wives was approaching.
The night before, Shannon was so excited that she could not fall asleep. She envisioned herself outshining everyone at the
banquet, radiating beauty and charm. Lost in her thoughts, she chuckled softly.
She had also instructed someone to edit videos of her previous acting career and retouch many glamorous photos from her
debut on
the TS Gem Channel. She planned to play them on a loop at the birthday banquet, captivating the attention of all the guests.
As a result, the next day, Shannon’s complexion was pale, with
bloodshot eyes and massive dark circles.
Without makeup, she resembled a vengeful ghost from an old horror
movie!
After all, she was nearing 50 and could not escape the signs of aging.
In the past, even after filming for three days and nights, her skin.
remained fair and radiant. Now, a single night without sleep was
taking its toll on her aging face.
“Someone! Hurry, call my beautician to come over for a makeover! Quickly!” Shannon was in a frantic state, pacing around her
room.
She behaved like a manic person and smashed an expensive cup in a fit of rage. However, Gregory did not witness this arrogant
and
irritable outburst.
The servant waiting outside was scared and quickly ran off to fetch
the beautician.
Shannon looked at herself in the mirror, a simmering rage building
inside her.
Today, she and Celeste were celebrating their birthdays on the same. day, like rivals in a competition.
Shannon had not seen Celeste for many years. She considered
herself the legitimate wife of Gregory, but despite her status being far
superior to Celeste’s status as Wyatt’s mistress, she could not shake
off her anxiety.
In the past, Celeste was the leading actress on the TS Gem Channel,
the fantasy of men nationwide.
Shannon couldn’t help but feel anxious because she was afraid of
being overshadowed by Celeste!
“Mom! Mom!” Bethany rushed in hastily. However, seeing Shannon in
this ghostly state, Bethany was left momentarily stunned.
“What’s the matter? Why are you acting like you’ve seen a ghost?”
Shannon snapped impatiently.
“I just called Grandpa again and confirmed with him. He said he wouldn’t be attending your birthday banquet tonight.”
“What’s so surprising about that? I never expected that old man to show up from the beginning. Whether he comes or not, it
does not
matter. I’d rather not have him bring his old-fashioned gloominess
here!” Shannon sneered coldly, making no effort to hide her disdain for Nigel in front of her daughter.
